I'm in agreement with your post earlier about needing to read things properly and to make account for perception and fabrication. It seems you may be guilty yourself.
The witness I think you refer to in the DM article isn't a witness to the act but the father of a witness. This could easily be his perception of what his daughter told him.
Exactly. Although I disagree with me being guilty (of x/y/z...). I am merely pointing out things. I don't think I've provided an opinion either way in this respect... unless that is just my own perception, of course...
